Saturday Evening and Dinner

After a "gourmet" lunch at Subway, we spent the afternoon sorting out phone issues and organising souvenirs and gifts. We watched a Chinese game show on TV, (without sub-titles), which was a cultural experience in itself!!

The highlight of the day was dinner at a nearby fabulous hotel, with GSE Chair Bill Tsai, his family and another Rotarian couple as well as an American exchange student, Heidi.
What a fantastic night. 12 course buffet, chopsticks, Taiwanese beer, plum juice, and an array of food that was amazing. We practised our Mandarin, our kangaroo impression and our chopstick skills and passed successfully on all counts. There were a few foods that we were not sure of, but the fresh vegies and produce were amazing.
